[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1982038, member: 107384"] They buy in large lots like maybe 50,000 pounds or more. If it doesn't meet specs for a cannister powder, then the loading companies have the means to evaluate its suitability for loading certain cartridges. Or the manufacturer supplies basic info about the lot which the ammo makers can use to work up a load. A load requiring 50 grains of powder should yield 140 rounds per pound or 7 million rounds out of 50,000 pounds and probably not a huge run for some places. IIRC IMR7828 was suspected of existing long before it was available as a cannister powder. [/QUOTE]
